Love Lost Never Returns
After my family went bankrupt, my fiancé, Thaddeus Blackwood, firmly broke off our engagement and chose Vivienne Winters instead.
It was Sterling Knight who helped me clear my debts and arranged my father's funeral, rescuing me from financial ruin. For the next three years, he remained steadfastly by my side.
Just when I believed I had found my salvation, I overheard a conversation between Sterling and his friend the day before our wedding.
"Do you really plan to marry Arabella Frost? Aren't you afraid she'll eventually discover that you orchestrated her father's death and her family's bankruptcy?"
"Vivienne has already married Thaddeus," Sterling replied. "I might as well marry her. And if she finds out, so what? I paid off her debts and gave her father a proper burial. I've done right by her."
Only then did I realize that Sterling had deceived me too. From beginning to end, I was the only one truly invested in this relationship.
